It was 1974, a time when disco, designer jeans, and double-digit
inflation reigned strong. It was also the year that a company named
Billcon made a commitment to providing America with high-quality currency
counters and banking machines, and customer service that was second
to none.
It's been 32 years since Billcon Corporation of America opened its doors.... and there's a lot more money chasing that same basket of goods. In fact, there's about 400% more money to count. That means our products have to be quicker, smarter, and more reliable than ever before. We're happy to report they are. Today, we celebrate our 32nd year in America...and we wish to thank each and every one of you who have made our success possible over these many years.
